Near Yanco, on sandstone range, lanceolate leaves, and E. rostrata-like buds 

 (Dr. J. B. Cleland, No. 31, &c). 



Leaves lanceolate to somewhat broader. Temora (Rev. J. W. Dwyer, Nos. 112, 

 251, 499). " A gum, smooth deciduous bark, dark grey or greenish and bluish on trunk, 

 but creamy on branchlets, about 20 to 30 feet high." Road, Temora to Mirrool (Rev. 

 J. W. Dwyer). Leaves lanceolate. Temora to Morangarell (Rev. J. W. Dwyer, No. 

 136). 



" Like E. tereticomis somewhat, but the bark shells off and hangs on trunk. It is 

 about 50 feet high." Ironbark sedimentary ridge near Barmedman (Rev. J. W. Dwyer, 

 No. 479b, &c). " Red or Cabbage Gum." Barmedman on ridge. Leaves lanceolate 

 (R. H. Cambage). 



Leaves lanceolate. Wyalong (W. S. Campbell). 



Ardlethan on quartzite ridge. Leaves of medium width (R. H. Cambage, No. 

 4,192). 



" A gum for the most part very irregular, in many cases having three or more 

 stems. The highest about 60 feet, but mostly about 30 feet. Grows only on the rocky 

 rises and hills. Bark cream to almost white, loose and coarse at the butt. Does not 

 appear to be used for any purpose here." Lanceolate leaves. Bynya, Barellan (W. 

 Burke ). 



Lanceolate to broadly lanceolate leaves. Weddin Forest Reserve, via Young 

 (J.H.M.). 



" Stunted form of Forest Red Gum, with rounded opercula." Grenfell road 

 (R. H. Cambage). ''Mountain Gum." Lanceolate leaves. Also "Forest Gum." 

 Grenfell (District Forester Arthur Osborne, No. 47). 



" This tree is called Cabbage Gum on account of its small size and crooked, stunted shape. It is 

 most difficult to get a straight log (either from branch or trunk) of even 4 feet in length. The bark is 

 smooth and grey, similar to the Red Gum (E. rostrala) both on trunk and limbs — in fact, the whole tree 

 appears to be the Red Gum in miniature, except that it does not grow straight. It is sometimes used for 

 posts for fencing when no other timber can be obtained, such as on rocky hills, where it is generally found, 

 and where carting other kinds is difficult. It makes good charcoal." Leaves broadly lanceolate. 

 (Forester Postlethwaite, Grenfell). 



"Blue Gum." Cowra district (Forest Ranger Stevenson). Mt. McDonald, 

 Cowra district, also top of Bluff. Valves very exsert (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). 

 Noyeau, Woodstock (G. W. Hammond). Lyndhurst (A. W. Howitt). Mt. Macquarie, 

 near Carcoar (J. L. Boorman). Manildra (J. L. Boorman). Two very different forms, 

 one with narrow leaves, the other with a longer operculum and much broader leaves. 



With long operculum, Bowan Park, near Cudal (W. F. Blakely, No. 197). " Red 

 Gum." Broadish leaves. Ophir, Orange. Affinity to E. rostrata (R. H. Cambage). 

 Bogan Gate (J. L. Boorman). Forbes district (Henry Deane, No. 129). Bogandilla 

 Condobolin (W. W. Froggatt). " One of the Red Gums of the district, growing on the 

 tops of the stony hills near the township ; the whole of the inflorescence has a yellow hue." 

 With very short opercula. Condobolin (J. L. Boorman). Slopes of Mt. Tyriga, 

 Condobolin-Euabalong road; reputed to be the centre of New South Wales. This is a 

 tree, which, if found growing in the Sydney district would, as regards its bark, be judged 

 to be E. punctata DC. (J.H.M. ).
